Measuring the severity of corrosion on a specific alloy is often accomplished via mass loss using ASTM G-1. These processes work well and provide high fidelity data for many materials, especially steels. However, recent internal findings and disclosures from other research groups have highlighted a potential issue with using mass loss techniques to measure the damage on some aluminum alloy surfaces.

CUI (Corrosion under insulation) is among the key damage mechanisms in the process and hydrocarbon industries which results in the localized corrosion (mainly) thereby reducing the service life of the assets (pipes, equipment, etc.) CUI is reportedly known as the reason behind 40-60% of failures in the facility piping whereas small bore piping (i.e., NPS< 4”) are even more sensitive to CUI failures, where up to 81% of reported failures in small-sized piping are known to be from CUI. Monetary spending to inspect and fix CUI-related failures cost 10% of overall maintenance budget in a typical medium-sized oil refinery. CUI risk is influenced by numerous operational and environmental factors which impedes its management in a typical AIM (Asset integrity management) program.

CUI (Corrosion under insulation) refers to localized corrosion under thermal insulations, which pose integrity risks to the hydrocarbon facilities. 1 CUI is reportedly a driver behind 40-60% of failures in the facility piping. Smaller-sized piping (i.e., diameter < 4”) are even more prone to CUI, whereas reportedly 81% of failures in small-sized piping are due to CUI. 2 CUI-related failures and associated efforts comprise 10% of a facility’s maintenance budget. Management of CUI risks has always been challenging as it involves maneuvering numerous governing factors. The key driving factor behind CUI is the aerated moisture that comes from soaked thermal insulations.

Author: Ahmad Raza Khan Rana, Graham Brigham, Syed Umair Niaz Bukhari

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Corrosion under thermal insulations namely CUI (Corrosion under insulation) is among the key degradations posing integrity risks to the hydrocarbon processing, chemical, and petrochemical facilities. CUI is reportedly known as the reason behind 40-60% of failures in the piping for the oil refineries. Whereas the small-bore piping (i.e., NPS< 4”) is more prone to this damage mechanism where reportedly where up to 81% of failure result from CUI.
